Finding your feet in a new town can be hard, especially if you’re covered in fur and d on’t speak the language. But for pets new to Marlborough, help is at hand.
Marlborough SPCA and the Railway Café, in Blenheim, have joined forces to help welcome pets and their people to the region with a fortnightly morning tea. They hope the morning teas will get tails and tongues wagging as well as giving advice on how to make the move smoother.
Railway Café owner Leanne Harris came up with the innovative（创新的） plan as a way to help welcome people to the area. Leanne moved to Marlborough from Auckland two years ago and said she initially struggled to find friends and feel part of the community. “Coming from Auckland I thought people would open their doors and that there would be neighbours calling round with cake. I expected people to come to me and, of co urse, it wasn’t like that. I did get lonely. “I hope to save newcomers having to wait as long as I did to feel part of it all. I would like to welcome them to the town.”
Free platters of sandwiches, cakes and other goodies will be on offer, for the people, while there will be special handmade yoghurt and banana treats for the dogs. The morning teas will take place in the covered area at the back of the popular café beside the railway station off Grove Rd.
Leanne said she was happy to devote both her time and effort into giving back to the community and felt the venture was a great fit with the SPCA.
“Volunteering is such an amazing thing to do and it changed things for me completely, and I met some amazing people with similar interests.”
SPCA Op Shop manager Karina Greenall, originally from the United Kingdom, said she also wanted to help. “I can give advice on how to resettle pets, the best parks to go to , where the best walks are and where the vet centers are in town.” There will be volunteering opportunities too for people where they can help out and hopefully make friends too.”
5. How will Marlborough SPCA and the Railway Café help new pets?...
A. By offering morning teas.
B. By giving advice to them.
C. By communication with them.
D. By providing accommodation to them.
6. What was Leanne’s plan originally intended for?
A. Saving animals.
B. Helping newcomers.
C. Making more friends.
D. Expanding her business.
7. What had Leanne expected when she first came to Marlborough?
A. To be left alone.
B. To struggle for a living.
C. To be invited to dinner.
D. To feel part of the community.
8. What can be learnt about SPCA Op Shop manager Karina Greenall?
A. She often misses the United Kingdom.
B. She takes interest in the Railway Café.
C. She is enthusiastic about resettling pets.
D. She has organized the voluntary events.

故选C。

C
In 1917 Orville Wright predic ted that “the aeroplane will help peace in many ways --–in particular I think it will have a tendency to make war impossible.” Earlier in 1904, American journalist John Walker declared, “As a peace machine, the value of the aeroplane to the world will be b eyond computation.” This wasn’t the first grand promise of technology. In that same year Jules Verne announced, “The submarine(潜艇)may be the cause of bringing battle to a stoppage.”
Alfred Nobel, sincerely believe his dynamite(火药) would be a war obstacle: “My dynamite will sooner lead to peace than a thousand world conventions(公约).” Similarly, when Hiran Maxim, inventor of the machine gun, was asked in 1893, “Will this gun not make war more terrible?” he answered, “No, it will make war impossible.” Gugliemo Mareconi, inventor of the radio, told the world in 1912. “The coming of the wireless time will make war impossible, because it will make war ridiculous.” General James Harbord, chairman of the board of RCA in 1925, believed, “Radio will serve to make the concept of Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men a reality.”
David Nye, a historian of technology, adds to the list of inventions imagined as abolishing war forever and leading to universal peace the hot-air balloon, poison gas, land mines and laser guns.
It is not that all these inventions are without benefits—even benefits toward democracy（民主）. Rather, it’s the case that each new technology creates more problems than it solves. “Problems are the answers to solutions,” says Brian Arthur.
Most of the new problems in the world are problems created by previous technology. These problems are nearly invisible to us. Every year 1.2 million people die in automobile accidents. The technological transportation system kills more people than cancer. Global warming, environmental poisons, nuclear terrorism, and species loss, are only a few of the many other serious problems troubling people.
If we embrace(拥抱) technology we need to face its costs.
9. What will new inventions do according to the first two paragraphs?
A. They will increase wars.
B. They will lead to peace.
C. They will serve people.
D. They will break conventions.
10. Why does the author list so many inventions?...
A. To show people’s creativity.
B. To appreciate their benefits.
C. To contradict the original ideas.
D. To prove grand promises.
11. What does the author hope to tell us about new technology through the text?
A. It will experience many tests.
B. It will bring about huge costs in the world.
C. It provides answers to many problems.
D. It presents more problems than it solves.
【答案】9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。

通过列举飞机、潜艇、无线电、地雷、手枪等先进技术，来证明当今世界上的很多战争及问题都是由先进的技术引起的这一观点。

出现的这一现象与当初发明者的初衷相违背，以此来说明，要想运用先进技术，必须要承受技术所带来的代价。

9. 细节理解题。

根据“In 1917 Orville Wright predicted that “the aeroplane will help peace in many ways --–in particular I think it will have a tendency to make war impossible.” Earlier in 1904, American journalist John Walker declared, “As a peace machine, the value of the aeroplane to the world will be beyond computation.” This was n’t the first grand promise of technology. In that same year Jules Verne announced, “The submarine(潜艇)may be the cause of bringing battle to a stoppage”无论是飞机还是潜艇的发明者都认为自己的新发明可以停止战争，带来和平，故选B。

10. 推理判断题。

根据“in particular I think it will have a tendency to mak e war impossible”“The submarine(潜艇)may be the cause of bringing battle to a stoppage.”“My dynamite will sooner lead to peace than a thousand world conventions(公约).”以及“It is not that all these inventions are without benefits—even benefits toward democracy（民主）. Rather, it’s the case that each new technology creates more problems than it solves”可知，作者之所以列举这么多发明，是为了证明，这下发明非但没有停止战争、带来和平，反而使得世界上出现更多的问题，而这些问题的出现与当初发明者所预想的情况相背离。

故选C。

11. 细节理解题。

根据“ it’s the case that each new technology creates more problems than it s olves.”“Most of the new problems in the world are problems created by previous technology. These problems are nearly invisible to us”可知，作者认为新
兴技术所带来的问题远远超过它所能解决的问题。

故选D。

D
Cyclist Alain Such has been dropped from the Ingotel cycling team for two years after a positive drug test at the Institute of drug Free Sport. “ I was flabbergasted.” Said Didier Garcia, from Team Ingotel. “Alain joined our team last month and we had no idea that he was being examined.”
It’s a story that has become more and more familiar i n recent years. Dr. Mohammad Farnood, a leading sports scientist from Cairo, Egypt, said, “ It is thought that some athletes will look for other ways to improve performance in addition to using drugs.”
However, it has not always been against the law. In the Olympics in 1904, Thomas Hicks won the marathon after using drugs in the middle of the race. In fact, the first one didn’t make him feel better for long, so he was given another and, as a result, he fell down soon after finishing and knew nothing. Another one may well have killed him.
Things are very different today. Some scientists are considering the possibilities of using genetic engineering to further develop athletes’ abilities. “If it works with no risk of discovering,” said Dr Farnood, “ then it’s likely to become common practice for athletes.”
Researchers are looking at the possibility of identifying “athletic” genes and correcting weak ones. Put into practice, this would make a person healthier and stronger. Once scientists understand what genes of top athletes look like , it might even become possible to identify “athletic” genes in young people, and then money could be spent on children who have the most promising genes.
“People are beginning to recognize that genetics can in many ways do good to our society, for example in saving lives and in creating better quality food for people.” Dr Farnood says. “ So, is it fair to use genetic engineering in sport? You could ask if it’s fair for some runners to use the latest scientifically developed footwea r. The key question is whether it’s available to everyone.”
12. What does the underlined word “ flabbergasted” in Paragraph 1 mean ?
A. Shy .
B. Proud.
C. Excited.
D. Surprised.
13. What happened to Thomas Hicks in 1904 ?
A. He was badly hurt in training.
B. He broke the law when running in a race.
C. He took drugs and almost got killed.
D. He lost the match in the Olympic Games.
14. Who may show the greatest concern about using genetic engineering in sport ?
A. Didier Garcia .
B. Thomas Hicks....
C. Cyclist Alain Such .
D. Dr Mohammad Farnood.
15. What can we learn from Paragraph 5 and 6 ?
A. The possibility of identifying “athletic” genes has become available .
B. It’s not clear whether it is fair to use genetic engineering in sport.
C. The practice of using drugs in sport has a long history.
D. It’s dangerous to use drugs in sport.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。

由自行车手Alain接受兴奋剂实验来引出全文。

有的运动员为了在比赛中取得好成绩，偷偷服用兴奋剂，最终危及了生命，而有的人是努力培养身体里面的运动基因或者是利用新发明的科技帮助自己在比赛中取胜。

而对于这种在比赛中使用基因遗产工程的做法是否公平，没有定论。

12. 词义推断题。

A. Shy 害羞；B. Proud骄傲；C. Excited激动；D. Surprised惊讶。

根据“Alain joined our team last month and we had no idea that he was being examined.”刚开始的时候，队员并不知道Alain接受了兴奋剂测试，因此“Cyclist Alain Such has been dropped from the Ingotel cycling team for two years after a positive drug test at the Institute of drug Free Sport. “ I was flabbergasted.” Said Didier Garcia”当得知这一消息时，感觉比较惊讶。

故选D。

13. 细节理解题。

根据“Thomas Hicks won the marathon after using drugs in the middle of the race. In fact, the first one didn’t make hi m feel better for long, so he was
given another and, as a result, he fell down soon after finishing and knew nothing. Another one may well have killed him”可知，Thomas Hicks在马拉松比赛中服用了兴奋剂，而且差点死去。

故选C。

14. 细节理解题。

根据“Some scientists are considering the possibiliti es of using genetic engineering to further develop athletes’ abilities. “If it works with no risk of discovering,” said Dr Farnood, “ then it’s likely to become common practice for athletes.””可推知，Dr Farnood对于基因工程在比赛中的使用表现出了极大的关心。

故选D。

15. 细节理解题。

根据““People a re beginning to recognize that genetics can in many ways do good to our society, for example in saving lives and in creating better quality food for people.” Dr Farnood says. “ So, is it fair to use genetic engineering in sport? You could ask if it’s fair for some runners to use the latest scientifically developed footwear. The key question is whether it’s available to everyone.””可知，对于在比赛中，运动员使用基因工程去获得比赛的胜利是否公平这一问题，没有定论。

故选B。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Tired of tradition al running ? Well, maybe it’s time to try using your hands instead. That’s what Shaun McCarty and other Australians are doing ---- running on all fours. ___16___
McCarthy, who comes from Melbourne, Australia , said he’s the one behind the term “crunning.” “It’s not crawling , it’s not running.” he said. “Crunning is a better workout than running. It puts more of an emphasis（着重）on the body than traditional running does. _____17_____ ”
McCarthy thinks that he gets much more exhausted after crunning, so he believes it must burn more calories than running.
___18___ Some believe crunning could result in bad shoulder injuries or broken noses.
But McCarthy is not worried. Many Melbourne residents have been seen running
around on all fours. ___19___In the Chinese city of Zhengzhou , crawling, a much slower version of crunning , has been a favourite activity for many years. According to some people there, the exercise is believed to date back two thousand years to the Han Dynasty.
___20___ Then McCarthy advises you to buy some good shoes, hand gloves and most important of all, a face mask !
A.Ready to give crunning a try ?
B.As it turns out , they are not the only ones.
C.Crunning seems more difficult than traditional running.
D.It really exercises your legs and shoulders at the same time.
E.It’s part of the Internet’s latest fitness activities : “ Crunning.”
F.However, many are not sure if it is the right exercise for humans.
G.He warns, however, that he can’t say whether crunning is potentially harmful.【答案】16. E 17. D
18. F 19. B ...
20. A
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。

主要讲述了关于“ Crunning”这一新兴运动。

来自墨尔本的McCarthy认为， Crunning比跑步更加的消耗热量。

而且郑州自从韩朝起就流行起这项运动，距今已有两千多年的历史。

16. 根据“Tired of traditional running ? Well, maybe it’s time to try using your hands instead”可知，作者是在为下文做铺垫，为了引出本文的话题，与传统的跑步所不同的运动方式。

故选E。

17. 根据“It puts more of an emphasis（着重）on the body than traditional running does”， Crunning比起传统的跑步更加看重于身体的运动，结合后文“Some believe crunning could result in bad shoulder injuries or broken noses”可知，Crunning可以活动肩膀等部位。

故选D。

18. 根据前文“he believes it must burn more calories than running”，McCarthy认为这项运动可以燃烧更多的卡路里，“Some believe crunning could result in bad shoulder injuries or broken noses”但是有些人认为，crunning可以造成肩部损伤或使鼻子受伤，因此这是两种不同的观点。

故选F。

19. 根据后文“In the Chinese city of Zhengzhou , crawling, a much s lower version of crunning”，McCarthy在郑州也看到过这项运动，因此他并不是这项运动唯一的支持者。

故选B。

20. 根据“Then McCarthy advises you to buy some good shoes, hand gloves and most important of all, a face mask ”， McCarthy给从事这项运动的人提出的建议，以及连接词Then,可知前文表示，有人想要从事这项运动。

故选A。

【名师点睛】
